The project period is from April to October this year, with a total support budget of 40 million KRW, providing support ranging from 800,000 KRW to a maximum of 3.5 million KRW per participating group.

Applicants must fill out and submit related documents such as the project plan and participant list announced on the district website.

The 2024 Seongbuk-gu Village Making Contest Project will proceed in three categories: ▲ New village community group activities ‘Making Neighbors’ ▲ Continuous village community project activities ‘Making Our Village’ ▲ Support for community space activities such as resident-use facilities ‘Community Space Revitalization’.
